40th Street

Thinking about moving to 40th Street, in Sunnyside.

There's a 1-bedroom on the first floor of a pre-war building, rent-stabilized, about 1 block to the 7 train (which is elevated, and won't prevent me from blackberrying while I wait).

There's a Dunkin Donuts within eyeshot of the corner, plus plenty of great places to eat.

The only drawback may be the proliferation of Sunnyside-esque blog names that blocked me from grabbing a better URL. Before settling on our current address, I came across:

The Sunnysiders, a married couple which hasn't posted an entry since October 22, 2007;

Sunnysider, which was created in 2006 "by three kids who live in Virginia who decided to make a website that they thought would be a cool site for kids to have fun on." They posted one more entry before disappearing;

the more relevant Sunnyside Queens blog posted a few pictures and grumbled about the dangers of cell phone towers before vanishing in March of 2007.

So, maybe we're treading on well-worn territory, but it could be fun exploring this neighborhood.
